That would be the amygdala
The side of the brain that looks like a Seahorse.
Front part of the temporal lobe. Depending on how you are viewing the brain, it is in front of the hippocampus and below the hypothalamus so to speak. If you have an fMRI or picture...its almond shaped.
cochlea
The cochlea is the spiral-shaped part of the inner ear responsible for hearing. It is filled with fluid and contains hair cells that convert sound vibrations into electrical signals sent to the brain for interpretation.
The simple answer: In the inner ear the cochlea (the roundish wound up thing that looks a little like a snail shell to me), picks up vibrations from the eardrum (AKA Tympanic membrane) which are then converted to nerve impulses, which are received by the brain as sound.
In biological terms, the amygdala is a part of the brain. It is almond shaped in the temporal lobe and is thought to play a role in emotions and fear.

Almond is a noun - a "thing"
It loooks like a big, wrinkly, gray sponge The Hypothalamus is the control center of all autonomic regulatory activities of the body and it is no bigger then a the size of an almond.
The thalamus is the part of the brain that acts like a switchboard. The thalamus controls how the brain reacts to certain things like pleasure and pain.

The hypothalamus is a small, almond-shaped structure located below the thalamus in the brain, forming part of the diencephalon. It plays a crucial role in regulating various autonomic functions, including temperature control, hunger, thirst, and circadian rhythms. Additionally, it connects the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland, influencing hormone release and maintaining homeostasis in the body.
When experiencing fear or aggression, the amygdala, a small almond-shaped structure in the brain, is primarily activated. This area processes emotional responses and triggers the body's fight-or-flight response. Additionally, the hypothalamus may also be engaged, which regulates physiological responses to stress, while the prefrontal cortex can be involved in assessing the situation and regulating emotional responses.
The amygdala, a small almond-shaped structure located deep within the brain, plays a crucial role in processing emotions, particularly fear and anxiety. When you perceive a threat or stressful situation, the amygdala activates and triggers the body's fight-or-flight response, leading to feelings of nervousness. This activation can cause physiological changes, such as increased heart rate and heightened alertness, as the brain prepares to respond to perceived danger.
The biggest part of the brain is the cerebrum. The cerebrum makes up 85% of the brain's weight. The cerebrum is the thinking part of the brain and it controls your voluntary muscles - the ones that move when you want them to. The cerebellum is a motor region of the brain, dealing with the subconscious movements of the muscles. This butterfly-shaped section is the second largest area of the brain. The cerebellum deals with coordination, posture, and balance.
